Here are 2 screen shots.





I am a little confused if the dither is working or not. It says "warning dithering failed". Then it says "post dither waiting for 15 secs". The next message says "dithering successful". So, did it fail or was it successful?? Please help if you know what the problem might be.

For any guiding issues I highly recommend double checking your polar alignment. The Ekos tool is awesome for this.

5 pixel dither,15sec settling time, 2sec guide interval, 2x2 bin might be a little bulky.

2 pixel dither, 5sec settling time, 1 sec guide interval, 2x2 bin would be lighter. Shorter 1sec guide intervals will allow the mount to react quickly and not have to keep trying to catch up.
